Is this one a custom ROM for ZTE V9? The 2 are RAR files, should i enpack them first then copy to SD or directly to SD and install them?

Thanks

not this is the 'offical' update, your need to run it on your PC. If you unpack the smaller one, it will give you instructions for what you need to do, apparently you can ignore the part where you have to send your code to ZTE and just carry on..

If you are going to try the upgrade, keep an eye on the directory where the files are, around the 10% stage you should see a file called something like channel1.nvm being created... you *NEED* to keep a back up of that.. make sure you copy to your desktop (or other) before the progress gets any futher..

Hi.
Thanks for the tipps. I will try later. But is there any normal Custom ROM for V9? I have one from '3' in Austria. After i rooted and installed ClockWork, everytime i start it, it plays a error message, and i can't download from 'Markt'. Any idea?
I sent it back to service hope can get it back soon!

A Couple of People have asked me now so here are some more involved instuctions:

1) download the two files from the first post2) unrar both files to a temporary directory3) install the Sales_MultiDL_MSM7227_V1.00.01 program4) download this PATCHED exe (thanks to mrradmir) and place it into the directory you installed MultiDL_MSM7227_V1.00.015) run Sales_MultiDL_MSM7227_V1.00.01 program and at the bottom left point it at the location you unrared the larger file6) remove the usb cable and the battery from your device, wait 10 seconds, put it the battery back in.7) holding down VOL UP + VOL DOWN press the power button, you will see the power LED flash once8) now connect the USB cable to your PC9) using hardware manager find the port for your device and set it in Sales_MultiDL_MSM7227_V1.00.01's setting (read the DOC file for more info)10) at the bottom of the application under 'File Information' press SW Directory and browse to the 'V9_GENERICV1.0.0B03(offical)' directory11) in Action Mode tick the 'Backup NV' box and then Press 'Start All'12) you should find a file called 'Channel1.nvm' in the program directory, take a copy of that13) back in Action Mode tick the 'Download' box and Press 'Start All' again14) wait15) pray

I should mention that using this method, I've managed to get my v9 working again, even tho I screwed it first time around

EDIT:

Some people have reported better results from re-installing a STOCK ROM and then rebooting the device into FTM mode, rather than the method mentioed in step 7... you might want to give that go
